On November 17, due to the return of [[John-117]], the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] was ready for a counterattack.

During the engagement, many [[Civilian|surviving workers]] from the Traxus facilities, armed with recovered UNSC weapons joined the Marines in their fight to liberate Voi. Together they destroyed multiple {{Pattern|Ogab'd|anti-aircraft Wraith}}s, a [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarab]], and the Covenant anti-air gun. With the anti-air forces destroyed, [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]]'s ships attacked the Prophet of Truth's Dreadnought, until Truth activated the Portal to the Ark and escaped through it, with his [[Truth's fleet|fleet]] following.{{Ref/Reuse|storm}} | ||

After this, a [[Indulgence of Conviction|Flood-controlled ship]] slipped in, and crashed in at the western edge of the city. This ship was full of Flood, and the Master Chief and the Arbiter began to fight this new threat. Under orders from [[Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes]], they started to move to the downed cruiser, hoping to destroy it in an effort to contain the Flood. As they neared the cruiser, the [[Swords of Sanghelios|Sangheili]] [[Fleet of Retribution]] arrived, led by [[Shipmaster]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]]. The Sangheili flagship, ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'', deployed [[Sangheili]] ground forces to assist the humans. Voi was ravaged by the Flood infestation and many Marines and surviving civilian personnel were infected in the ensuing chaos, but the Chief and his surviving allies forged ahead into the heart of the city. | After this, a [[Indulgence of Conviction|Flood-controlled ship]] slipped in, and crashed in at the western edge of the city.

The humans learned that the Sangheili were looking for the [[Artificial intelligence|AI construct]] [[Cortana]], who was supposedly aboard the Flood cruiser. Separating from the Arbiter, the Chief went aboard the cruiser. What he found was not [[Cortana]], but a damaged message left by her. As he was inspecting it, [[343 Guilty Spark]] arrived to repair Cortana. All human and Elite forces retreated to the ''Shadow of Intent'' as the fleet [[Glassing|glassed]] Voi, therefore destroying all Flood in the vicinity and preventing the parasite from spreading any further.<ref>''Halo 3'', campaign level [[Floodgate]]</ref> | The humans learned that the Sangheili were looking for the [[Artificial intelligence|AI construct]] [[Cortana]], who was supposedly aboard the Flood cruiser.
